About this experience
MUSA Cancun is a very successful conservation project, one of the first of its class. In order to maintain the natural reefs, the local and federal authorities and dive shops in the area made an effort and sunk over 400 statues to make an artificial reef, After MUSA was sunk, Manchones Reef recovered over 40% of its natural beauty.
We combine two of the best things to do in Cancun: dive and visit the world-famous Underwater Museum (MUSA).
It doesn’t matter if you are not a PADI-certified diver; you can take the class and join us on this incredible adventure.
Discover Scuba Diving is PADI`s first step to becoming a diver. This dive lesson in Cancun is perfect for those who want to feel how it feels to breathe underwater.
